As a bonus, you can ask our Maker Space experts questions about the space and equipment. Take a look at other projects and make a one-on-one appointment to have us walk you through it.

Perfect for beginners, ages 18 and up.

This month, we are using stencils to paint terracotta pots! Choose your design from the photo above and an adhesive stencil will be made on the Cricut to help guide you in painting a beautiful scene.
